Great News! Congress passed a compromise bill to reinstate the FHA loan limit to $729,750.
This limit is important to high-cost areas, such as Los Angeles and Orange counties. This increase is expected to become law and will be in effect for all FHA loans funding through 12/312013.
Keep in mind the unfortunately only affects the FHA loans. The good news is if you are a buyer in the $700,000-$900,000 price range now you are not shut out in the ability to purchase a home.

At this time the conforming limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans remains at $625,500. Why the politicians did not include this in the same move is beyond me. I am just grateful that every little bit will help on moving the market forward.
